My Name is Michele

My Name Is Michele recounts the harrowing, redemptive memoir of Dr. Michele Engel. Scarred by an abusive mother, she endured childhood prostitution, a stay in an orphanage run by ex Nazis disguised as Catholic nuns, a forced abortion, and consignment to an Israeli kibbutz where her life took a downward moral trajectory.

Over time she adopted seventeen different multiple personalities to cope with life-long trauma, a condition resolved by an empathetic therapist.

In l974 she came to the United States to secure medical assistance for her son. She herself focused on alternative medicine, ultimately becoming a Naturopathic Doctor in Lavonia, Georgia, where she now lives and practices.
